	Do it yourself - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The DIY industry has grown markedly since the 1980s as DIY has become a popular weekend pastime for people wanting to improve their living conditions (and the value of their house) without the expense of paying someone to do it.
		The DIY scene we know today is actually a re-introduction (often to city and suburb dwellers) of the old pattern of personal involvement in home or apartment upkeep, or the making of clothing, or maintaining of cars, computers, or any material aspect of living.
		In response to this sort of insight, in the 1970s, DIY spread through the North American population of college- and recent-college-graduate age groups.

	Department of Humanities - University of Central Lancashire
		Debates around non-violence and violence rage in DiY Culture, because the reaction of public or private security is an immediate concern for protestors, of course, but also because of the effects violence or non-violence can have on the general public's sympathies, or on media representations of events for the general public.
		Class violence sits uncomfortably in DiY Culture, partly because DiY is blind to class (that is, is dominated by middle class activists), partly because the language of class struggle is identified with a boring politics of yesterday, and partly because it strives to offer something positive, creative.
		The culture of immediacy in turn is a factor in the continuing rhetoric of newness around DiY Culture.

	Bookslut DIY: The Rise of Lo-Fi Culture by Amy Spencer
		In the case of “alternative” or DIY culture, obscurity is an important trait and a point of pride.
